Chapter 1403: Chapter 1225: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Mo Lu pounded her leg, "Maybe it really is because we usually don’t practice enough, otherwise how could a country girl possibly defeat us?"

Lin Caiyi shook her head and said, "Didn’t that girl say it herself? She’s been hunting in the mountains since she was little. Our Longya Gang doesn’t have wolves or leopards or the like, so how could we compare? I think we shouldn’t be too discouraged. If Butler Yan wants us to practice hard, then let’s just do it."

Chen Lingyun, however, looked at the other two ladies and asked, "Do you think the Young Master likes that girl? Just now he even helped her wipe her sweat."

"Young Master..." Mo Lu was somewhat dismayed, "It seems he really does care about that girl."

Lin Caiyi quickly said, "I don’t think so. Our Young Master has always liked helping the weak. Since that girl just came from the countryside, he would naturally take extra care of her. Have you forgotten about Zhou Xianzhi? Wasn’t the Young Master also very nice to her before? It made us all afraid to even mention Zhou Xianzhi."

Thinking of Zhou Xianzhi, Chen Lingyun felt annoyed, "That’s different. Zhou Xianzhi was born from a noble lineage, and her mother probably taught her some seductive techniques. But this country girl hasn’t been taught anything like that, right? I also don’t know how long she’s going to stay here."

"No idea, we don’t even know where she came from, let alone how long she’s going to stay. Let’s see if she comes to practice tomorrow. If she does, let’s try to get her talking. Looking at her innocent appearance, it shouldn’t be hard to pry some information," Mo Lu said.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m hungry. Let’s go eat breakfast," Lin Caiyi said.

So, the ladies dispersed.

...

In the Dining Hall, the servants had already prepared breakfast, and Long San and Lu Jianxi were sitting at the table waiting.

After Xia Dabao and Long Aixi arrived, they could start eating.

"Dabao, I heard from Hall Master Lin, who just came back from the backyard, that you had the young ladies of our Longya Gang so disoriented they couldn’t find their bearings? You defeated them in just a few moves?" Lu Jianxi asked.

She had also heard from Hall Master Lin on her way to the morning meal. Hall Master Lin was Lin Caiyi’s father, and seeing his daughter so out-of-sorts naturally upset him, so he exaggerated Xia Dabao’s prowess a bit.

Xia Dabao didn’t dare to boast and simply said, "I went over there to steal a few moves, but for some reason, Butler Yan let me compete with a few of the young ladies."

"I’ve always said, the girls in our courtyard are too soft, hardly resembling the spirit of Longya Gang. If they encounter someone ill-intentioned on Jianghu in the future, they’re certain to be bullied, yet they still refuse to practice hard," Lu Jianxi shook his head, but his admiration for Xia Dabao grew.

Xia Dabao just shyly smiled and didn’t know what to say next.

Long Aixi then said, "Dabao, why don’t you practice with us from now on? With you around, everyone feels more energized."

"Sure, I wake up early anyways. Just not sure if it’s appropriate?" Xia Dabao asked.

Long San then said with a faint smile, "There’s nothing inappropriate here in Longya Gang. You do whatever you want; there’s no need to hold back."

"Then great, thank you, Uncle Long San," Xia Dabao was happy and couldn’t help but glance at Long Aixi.

Long Aixi also looked at her, initially just out of happiness, but that look reminded Xia Dabao of the moment when Long Aixi had wiped her sweat.

For some reason, she felt the back of her ears irresistibly heat up.

She quickly bowed her head and sipped her porridge.
